I have been doing my fair share of this. So far, Taro, Blood Orange, Key Lime, Ellendale Mandarins, Valencia Oranges, Fall Glo Tangerines, Pineapples, and Papaya have sprouted. I had my sister in LA send me some Yuzus.

never thoguht of blood oranges.... i wonder if there even available here..

I now have a bunch of pomegranate seedlings, 2 in my aero garden, and some sprouted in the bag. Time to get some citrus goin

Must've liked the heat near the woodstove.

How's everyone else's grocery store germination coming along?

Dammit Barb, ive tried 3 of them, with nothing so far.

My almond is now 8 inches, i stopped counting leaves. Its starting to branch now. I have 2 lemon seedlings, the ginger finaly sprouted and im waiting on apricots, and some hazlenuts to sprout.

My apple seedlings are growing way faster then I expected as well....

Re the Avocado, I didn't suspend it over a glass of water.
Just stuck it halfway (lengthwise) into potting soil, covered with a baggie, placed 10 feet away from woodstove, then forgot about it till today.
The water method never worked for me either.

Congrats on your sprouts Jesse.

Thats the next way I was going to try. Good thing their cheap ....

My mini honey tangerine seeds sprouted today. They oranges they came from were the size of decent grape tomatoes. Should be interesting to see what I get.

Tangerine trees are beautiful in patio pots...picture yours in a few years http://www.mysinchew.com/node/19805 😀

currently have mango,papaya,passion fruit,pineapple,lemon,manderine,key lime,ginger,yellow ginger,turmeric,lemon grass,eddoes(EE) all growing,purchased from the asian market.Also have a moso shoot finally growing some roots after many tries,got to get them fresh!!!

willy1der,

That's quite the list, well done.

Had to look up the Moso...
Look at the stem on that bamboo! 😯
Man, that's beautiful.

Awsome willy!

You can grow sugar cane the same way as the lemon grass. Sugar cane is usualy sold in specialty asian/south american markets. Did you get the Moso roots in the market too?

Trying some Cherimoya seeds. We'll see what happens.

thats a really nice tree actualy. I hope you can get them to germinate....

I forgot to mention, my Pommegranate was attacked by red spider mites. ( so was the parade rose, my musella (starting to look like a velutina now 😯 ), and brug seedlings. Blasted them with safers soap, twice, so far no big outbreaks at all. The lady bugs will have some food in the summer 😈

Longer story short. Within a week, it grew 4 inches, and is branching like mad. Fast growing when happy (this is growing hydroponically in my aerogarden)

Looks nothing like that picture yet,dont think it will make it indoors,I will try outdoors come spring and will have better luck,it took me around 10 shoots to finally get a root @ around 2$ each so worth the try!!

Ive tried sugarcane lately but it just rotted over a few weeks,I tried growing under soil and also in water but no roots,they sell it cut and packaged and also the whole cane(around 5ft) ,I tried the packed sugercane.I did find the moso in the market,they have around 4 varieties that Ive seen,the moso looked to be cut a little below the soil line so there were nodes where the root will grow like you would find on the lemon grass

Here are some new pics of my macadamia plants. There are 7 in total. The leaves are pretty weird, they're kind of a combo of droopy-looking, wavy, and spiny!
